What Earl says is pretty much what I have been told back channel. Only thing that can be added is that the first work train of 1981 was
supplies to the power plant in Tacoma.
I have a youtube clip of the 476 scene, but I can no longer upload from this computer....not upgraded enough or some such crap. Anyway later we will
attempt to upload from Kathi's computer when she gets back. Unfortunately you don't see the lettering on the coaches. I was told that the first runs in 1981
for passenger trains the engines were all relettered to D&S. I am still baffled as to when this shot was done. I will post it later once we can upload to youtube and
send a link along. I don't post a lot of video, cause its amazing how much time it takes to prepare, move, upload and so forth. This one is a mystery.
